A Journal Through Time | Espilver (Sequel to: "My Night and Day")

Chapter #5, Espio's POV

That day I didn't have dinner. I was feeling a lot of things. I went around the yard and remembered my times with them. I picked up a ball and remembered playing basketball with Ray sometimes.

I saw the swing set and remembered that time a swing set collapsed on top of me. I broke 3 ribs and punctured a lung. I almost died. Mighty was the one that got me to the ER.

Then there was the time Mighty took a bullet for me. He lost a lot of blood.

We were all so close. Oh, Mighty, Ray. Why did you have to leave.

At 11, I finally came back inside. Silver put the kids to bed and was waiting for me in ours.

As I climbed in bed, I didn't say anything. I just lay down with my back turned to Silver.

He latched onto me and softly kissed my neck,
his arms wrapped around my torso.

I grabbed his hands and closed my eyes. I brought his hand up to my face. I kissed his hand then put it on my cheek.

I could feel warm tears running down my face. My chest was tightening and I let out a small whimper. He hugged me tighter to reassure me he was there and that everything would be okay.

He whispered soft, sweet things into my ear. Hearing him say what I wanted to hear made me feel better. I whispered a soft "I love you." I could feel him smiling. I turned my body around so I was facing him and his lips met mine.

I eventually gave in to my sleepiness and dozed off. I assume Silver did the same.
